Joelle Carter

One of TV's best dramas is back, and that's the best TV highlight this week.

"Justified" has never gathered the raves showered on "Mad Men" or "Breaking Bad." But the saga of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) has been one of the most consistent and entertaining dramas of recent years.

The FX series begins its sixth and final season at 10 p.m. Tuesday. The first three episodes continue the robust mix of unusual characters, twisty stories and punchy dialogue. The Kentucky backdrop adds a distinctive flavor often missing in other TV crime stories.
